Target Audience: Software DevelopersPrerequisites: Good programming skills in another languageObjectives:• Understanding of the basics of Erlang.• Read/Write/Design Erlang Programs.• Good knowledge of the development environment and tools.• Provides basics needed to attend the Advanced Erlang/OTP courseGoal: Attend the Advanced Erlang/OTP course and eventually pass the Erlang certification exam.Duration: Three days.Registration: 08:30 on 18 March 2013.Venue: Marines' Memorial Club and Hotel in Union Square.Description:
The course contains all the Erlang basics such as sequential and
concurrent programming, along side error handling. The Erlang
development environment is presented, with a special emphasis on the
Erlang mode for Emacs alongside the major debugging tools. Good and bad
programming practices are discussed, as are tools used to profile the
system. OTP design principles and concepts are sneaked into the
material as well as the exercises.

Target Audience: This course is aimed at experienced Erlang Software Developers and Designers who need to understand Behaviours.Prerequisites: Existing experience using Sequential and Concurrent Programming with Erlang on projects.Objectives:
• Use existing Design Patterns supported by Erlang and OTP.
• Apply Generic Behaviours, Finite State Machines and Event handler Patterns.
• Use the Supervisor and Application Behaviours Patterns.
• Write your own Design Patterns.
• Structure large Erlang based systems.Goal: Design fault-tolerant systems.Duration: Three daysRegistration: 08:30 on 18 March 2013. Venue: Marines' Memorial Club and Hotel in Union Square. Description:
You will learn the prevailing Erlang Design Patterns called OTP
Behaviours. We will cover Erlang Design Patterns such as Generic
Behaviours, Finite State Machines and Event Handlers. You will also
learn how to develop systems using the Supervisor and Application
Behaviours Patterns, so you can construct maintainable and fault
tolerant software. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to
extend it all, by devising your very own Behaviours.

Target Audience: Developers and OpsPrerequisites: Programming skills in any language; understanding of Unix basicsObjectives:* Installing and building a local Riak cluster* Leaning the operational basics of Riak* Using the various Riak APIs and Query Mechanisms* Understanding and exercising Riak's built-in scalability and fault tolerance* Analyzing and the numerous use cases for Riak* Benchmarking, Troubleshooting, and Running Riak in productionGoal: Learn why Riak is the best open source database you will ever run in productionDuration: Three days.Registration: 8:30 on 18 March 2013.Venue: Marines' Memorial Club and Hotel in Union Square. Description: Riak is an open source, scalable database being used by companies like Comcast, Boeing, Voxer, Yammer, GitHub, and Joyent today.
Riak is built from the ground up to be fault-tolerant to operational
failures. It also has various APIs and query mechanisms that are
flexible and purpose-built to make developers' lives easier. This
class will be a top-to-bottom review of Riak, and attendees will leave
with a firm understanding of why it's the best open source database you
will ever run in production.

Description: While not a new concept, Embedded Linux is becoming more and more popular with the barriers for entry being lowered by projects such as the Raspberry Pi.

In this hands on tutorial we will design an Erlang powered embedded sensor node, running on the Raspberry Pi. We will take you through the steps required to build and deploy the Linux image, deal with hardware interfacing and backend connectivity.
